Excellent location,very clean and had all the conveniences needed for our stay to attend my son's wedding. Ken and Isobel were perfect hosts on hand if needed, which we didn't. The vrbo details listed a hot tub being at the property. This was false.

Warm, Comfortable & Super Clean
Ideal base for exploring the island with all you could need to self cater and of a good standard. A bottle of wine and
tea & coffee on arrival a kind touch.
Beds comfortable and plenty of hot water. Road is quiet and parking straightforward. There is even a bakery/store round the corner. What’s not to like?

The Kennedys were very friendly and welcoming. I really appreciated how well stocked the house was with just about everything we needed as well as some basic food and supplies to tide us over as we arrived late on a sunday evening. The house was super clean. We really enojoyed our stay.
